1 Thessalonians 4:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Take care of your own business, and do your own work as we have already told you. ¹² If you do, then people who are not believers will respect you, and you will not have to depend on others for what you need.

The Lord’s Coming

¹³ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about those Christians who have died so you will not be sad, as others who have no hope.
